Empowering You to Overcome Anxiety with Online Therapy

Chronic anxiety is a burden, affecting every part of our lives, from waking up in the morning to putting the kids to bed at night. It’s more than worry–it’s the tightness in your chest, the racing thoughts, and the constant feeling of being overwhelmed with no way out.

You’re not alone in this. In fact, over 40 million adults in the United States have an anxiety disorder, and many struggle to find effective treatment. Online therapy for anxiety offers a safe, goal-oriented space where you can address the root causes of anxiety and find a way forward. With the help of experienced therapists, you can work on practical strategies to manage your anxiety, build emotional resilience, and regain control over your life.

Does Insurance Cover Online Therapy for Anxiety?

Many insurance plans cover Online Therapy. However, coverage largely depends on the specific insurance provider and plan. We recommend you discuss coverage for behavioral health services with your provider to ensure online therapy is eligible.

Start My Wellness accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Priority Health. Additionally, we offer reimbursements by medical savings accounts, including HSAs, MSAs, FSAs, and HRAs.

At Start My Wellness, we understand that one of the most important questions when choosing therapy is, “How much will it cost?”

That’s why we’re committed to providing transparent access to cost and billing information, and offer a free cost estimate before starting therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for Anxiety

HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE

Is Online Therapy for Anxiety as Effective as In Person?

Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for treating anxiety. Among therapeutic options, cognitive-behavioral therapy has the most efficacy in treating anxiety online. The key is staying consistent in treatment and building a strong therapeutic alliance, which are essential for long-term success.

Will Therapy Help My Anxiety Symptoms?

Therapy offers proven practices to help you manage and reduce your anxiety symptoms. Online therapies provide the same evidence-based treatments as in-person sessions, and treatment plans are always tailored to your direct needs.

What to Talk About in Therapy for Anxiety?

In therapy, you can discuss anything that triggers your anxiety, including specific fears, stressors, or negative thought patterns. You can talk about issues currently in your life or explore past experiences and how they’ve impacted you. Your therapist is your biggest ally and will guide you in exploring these topics safely and empathetically.

Does Insurance Cover Online Therapy?

Many insurance plans cover online therapy, but coverage can vary by provider and state. It’s important to check with your provider to understand what your plan covers, and at Start My Wellness, we will let you know your eligibility before therapy starts.

How Much Will Online Therapy Cost?

Online therapy costs vary depending on your provider, location, and insurance coverage. Typically, online therapy can be more affordable than in-person sessions, but it’s essential to confirm costs upfront. If you choose Start My Wellness, we will provide a free cost estimate before starting therapy.

How Can I Get a Therapy Dog for Anxiety?

Psychiatric service dogs are available for individuals with specific disabilities, illnesses, or disorders, including anxiety disorders. In order to get a service dog, owners must have a stable home environment for the dog and be involved in the dog’s training and long-term care. When these conditions are met and if you believe a service dog can help, speak to your healthcare provider, who can give a recommendation.

What is the 3-3-3 Rule for Anxiety?

The 3-3-3 rule is a grounding technique that involves naming three things you see, three sounds you hear, and moving three parts of your body. This simple exercise helps focus your attention on the present moment and reduce anxiety.

What is the 5-4-3-2-1 Rule for Anxiety?

The 5-4-3-2-1 rule is another grounding technique that focuses attention on the environment rather than on emotional triggers. You identify five things you can see, four things you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.

What are the Three C’s for Anxiety?

The three C’s stand for Catch, Challenge, and Change and come from cognitive behavioral therapy. This technique helps you manage anxiety by “catching” negative thoughts, challenging their validity, and changing them to more balanced, constructive ones.
